Huatli's Dinosaur Riots

(Updated for Ravnica Allegiance)

My deck for FNM Standard Tournaments at your LGS. I chose to make it a nice mix of Dinos, good removal, and Haste. Trying to go up against the current meta with the definition of a Midrange deck.

  • Huatli, Warrior Poet synergies extremely well with this deck (Currently trying out Domri, Chaos Bringer in the main). Gain life in the late game to counter the early burn/Haste damage. Make 3/3 Trample Dino tokens every turn. This zero ability will be the main use, great for defense and offence. The final -X ability is good for removal, enrage triggering, or peck all their defenders for 1 and swing in with no blockers to stop you. It's a game winning move that many seem to forget she can do. I moved her to the sideboard, but can easily be put back into the main, based on local meta.

  • Vivien Reid is for the current flying problem, but I just like drawing cards.

  • Gruul Spellbreaker is not a Dino, but his bonus effects are tempting to squeeze in. He's just a straight up counter to Settle the Wreckage , but little Teferi is pushing that out of the meta. Territorial Allosaurus and/or Runic Armasaur are being tested as well.

  • For removal I use Lava Coil , Thrashing Brontodon , and Deafening Clarion . Deafening Clarion is a huge help to this deck, since most of your guys survive the 3 damage and now have Lifelink as well.

  • Deathgorge Scavenger is mainly for graveyard decks Arclight Phoenix , Jump-Start, and Golgari. Also good to gain a little life. Just need some kind of graveyard hate. Sentinel Totem and Silent Gravestone also great.

  • Regisaur Alpha is a nice value, 7/7 in stats and Haste. Makes Ghalta, Primal Hunger an extremely scary threat to almost any deck.

  • I use a lot of non-Dinos spells in the deck, so I decided not to use Unclaimed Territory . I found my lands got worse due to the fact all my check-lands would come into play tapped, hence the higher than average Basic-Land base in the deck. Once I took out Unclaimed Territory and Evolving Wilds, I found my opening hands and early turns to just got better.

Let me know what you think. Playtest it versus your own deck and let me know if you notice any major weaknesses. I know no deck can beat them all, but I wanted to see if I could give the Top Tier Decks a threat. Sideboards change with the meta, so will always be different and change.
